Harrison Afful of Ghana, who was on the losing team, will likely smile for the rest of his life after receiving Lionel Messi’s jersey soon after their Major League Soccer (MLS) match.
Since his permanent transfer from French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain to Inter Miami, Messi, who is revered as the greatest player of all time, has dominated Major League Soccer (MLS).
He added another goal to Inter Miami’s excellent run of goals since arriving in the nation, helping Inter Miami defeat Charlotte FC convincingly 4-0.
Messi’s seventh League Cup goal, which advanced Inter Miami into the quarterfinals, where they will face the Philadelphia Union on Tuesday, showcased his incredible technique.
Veteran Ghanaian defender Harrison Afful, an important member of Charlotte’s club, shared the field with Messi. Despite his great efforts throughout the game, Afful was unfortunate enough to be disappointed by the outcome, as his team lost.
Right after the game, Afful ‘cornered’ Messi and asked for his jersey and he willingly obliged, as shared in the video below;
